Working with a new general attorney should feel structured. Here's how the first two conversations with Dylan usually go, from the moment you request a consult to the day representation begins.

Dylan discusses fees during intake so the arrangement fits the matter. Contingency, hourly, and flat-fee options are all common in general practice — ask which fits.

• How much does it cost to hire Dylan for a general case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Dylan walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Does Dylan offer a free consultation?

  Dylan charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Dylan's office. Some general attorneys offer free consults — check Dylan's current terms during booking.

• How long do general cases in Ohio typically take?

  Simple general matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Dylan gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Dylan take my case if I'm outside Dayton?

  Dylan is licensed in Ohio. Matters governed by Ohio law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Dylan will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Dylan?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Dylan will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Dylan accepting new general clients right now?

  Dylan's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
